Master Chief is not that old. He's only been around for like 15 or 14.

And Star Wars is way older than 25...

The armor of Stormtroopers should not be so shiny. It looks too much like polished metal.
At least make it less shiny.

I gotta say, those are lookin' rather pretty

yes they do cant wait to finish this jack

Well all my texturing and shaders are finally. done after months worth of full days and nights working and tweeking and mixing and making different textures and testing and mixing and creating and applyign and blending and overlaying and shadeing and more mixing and blablablablabla....

My work is done. textures are final for the OS Halo 4 MC!
The rest is up to mike!
Check out the previews if you like I just Ziped them up Cuz there's to many to post!

Thanks so much mike for letting me work on this guy and masternoob for his overhead Lighting Techneek and also waffles and r439 sniper for some of there interesting tutorials.
on shader and detail maps.

I think we all know there is more than one right way to make stuff in Halo CE and everyone has there own ways of going about doing things and making stuff. hopefuly you guys will like these textures and shaders when they are released!

permutation setting is right at the bottom of the tag.
Making the tag's bigger will not work good to save tag space.
Eliminate as much as possible.

30 shaders is insane. 6 or 7 should be enough for a biped.

Don't tell me that's Miranda under that suit.

savinpvtmike should know who I'm talking about, right?
Edited by Dumb AI on Nov 24, 2013 at 11:33 AM

Yeah It is. Why?

Nothing, actually.

So, I guess Johnson is blind now.

I noticed a lot of ports from other games come out looking waaaaayyy too dark. Or is that because the test map everyone uses to display their tags on has dark lightmaps?

Lightmaps may have have some effect on the brightness.

I was using Sandtrap to test some tags. The lighting was kind of screwy...

you got a girl biped that wud be good for a map name girls vs boys

...really? What are you, 9 years old?

Best post 2013, seriously I actually laugh out loud from some of the things I read on this site. Lmao.

Why not aliens vs humans? Or aliens vs aliens. Or humans vs robots.

I LOL !!! DOOM899 you are a keeper!
Girls Vs Boys it is.

or how about Terminators & Starship troopers? VS MEGA TRON & THE GALACTIC EMPIRE?
VS THE UNSC & BUZZ LIGHTYEAR?

monthly check-in into this thread, nice bipeds, funny Miranda face, some of these h3 bips look shiny :) :) :)

And remember kids...

Well, then he must have died a long time ago then.

I do not believe you! That isn't even him! his armor is green with a colored visor!

Don't listen! That MC is an imposter!

Now we just need a 50's style version of that poster :D

Challenge accepted.

I'm trying to make use of h4 control maps.

I read in one thread waffles sayed...



"blue can be used in defuse alpha as an overlay for where you want your cubemaps to show up."

I'm trying to make use of the blue channel.

I'm currently using the green as defuse. because the mp bipeds only come with controls & normal

I use green as defuse that works.
I use red as spec and that works.
I put green in alpha of red spec and click "use alpha as exp source" and that also seems to work well. even better than just using red as spec.

But im confused. with the blue channel.
If I add blue as an overlay in my green defuse it seems to look a lot better but missing a part

if I then make my alpha from the blue channel of those and remove the blue layer.

having only my same green defuse but with the blue as an over lay in the alpha. like he sayed.
Well unlike the spec mask. That does not work.like he sayed it does IT MAKES THE ARMOR TRANSPERENT (big no no.)or maybe im doing something wrong?

I was not aware that you could have alpha in the defuse map at all.

but I would like to make better looking defuse maps and make use of the blue channel. that is supposedly a Reflection Mask or possibly Self Illumination
what do I need to do? Any advice?

should I just put blue as an overlay and not make an alpha channel or what?

edit.
Message To mike! Armor Self Illumination point test Complete!
okay I want to show off the new work we have been doing with the control maps.
I'm going to post some pictures of the mc that are not fully proper

sense I made the new textures for the Forerunner! I learned how to make proper use of the control maps but unfortunately this method only works with every mp biped in halo 4 and not the sp mc.

the control maps lack the proper green and alpha channel for my new method of making mp textures using the control maps. but for testing reasons. I made a batch just to see what we are missing and because to apply fixes to our current textures and I cant even believe the impact this test has had and will have on the final version of the textures.
I have all ready posted pictures of our current textures, as you know the suite and cc in the visor and other places is all ready perfect. but master noobs multis we where using lacked the self illumination channel all together. and there where other errors in the other channels of the multis as well...

so I made A new full batch of textures this time. there is not cc in the multi. but the multi now has proper self illumination so when I start mixing what I have the final version of mc is going to even better!!!

so anyway I'm going to post some pictures from my self illumination testing.

Please note that there is no cc NONE in the multi and the suits and specular are not even proper.

(((((This test is strictly for the armor!!!!))))))

when you see this mixed with what I have posted previously your gona cheese! lol.

Self Illumination point test.

New Multi's but with out cc

LOOK AT THE NEW DETALS IN ARMOR EVERYWHERE

Going in Blender now! (:

edit again
here you can see the new detail seem in the top part of the suite.
this will be mixed In the the final version I showed previously.
this is the part that works on all the mp bipeds suits to add more cc in for different types of armors.



this is not what the suite looks like I'm just showing the detail of the seem.

as you can tell from this pic the top part changes colors.


new armor and tech suite coming soon...
Edited by jackrabbit on Dec 2, 2013 at 12:59 PM

Exactltly1 so what is the difference?
Edited by oracle on Dec 2, 2013 at 10:46 AM

could u try giving a slight contrast boost to the textures, and maybe bleach the cc a bit so the white looks... whiter. (maybe add a little more contrast and a tiny tiny bit of grain to the normals if you're using OS)

im not 9 years old im much much older with a younger mind full of new ideas not stationary like some . r you not up to the challenge
